Pittsburgh Pirates fans are just salivating at the idea of Jameson Taillon and Tyler Glasnow joining the big league rotation. Pittsburgh is just four games over .500, but in second place and 6 games behind the first place Chicago Cubs. They own the sixth worst ERA in the National League, and Gerrit Cole (2.79) is the only starter with an ERA under 4.46.
